Initiation | RH→R·+H· |
|---|---|
Propagation | R·+O2→ROO· ROO·+RH→ROOH+R· |
Branching | ROOH→RO·+·OH RO·+RH+O2→ROH+ROO· ·OH+RH+O2→H2O+ROO· |
Termination | ROO·+ROO·→ROOH+O2 ROO·+R·→ROOH R·+R·→R-R |
Peroxide decomposition | ROOH→various lower molecular weight compounds |
Polymerization | ROOH→various higher molecular weight compounds |
